Description

The Alterna Base Plate by Coloplast is an essential component of a two-piece ostomy system, crafted to provide secure and comfortable attachment for ostomy bags. Designed for individuals with colostomies, ileostomies, or urostomies, it adheres to the peristomal skin, serving as a reliable connection point for the ostomy pouch.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Suitable for use with Assura and Alterna systems, accommodating both drainable and urostomy bags in transparent or opaque options.

• Design Options: Available in flat and shallow convexity designs. The flat base plate offers a secure fit for most stoma types, while the shallow convexity design provides a gentle curvature to snugly fit around flat or retracted stomas, helping to prevent leakage.

Advanced Adhesive Technology

The base plate features a spiral-structure adhesive made from hypoallergenic, skin-friendly materials. This technology ensures strong adherence, excellent moisture absorption, and enhanced skin protection, reducing irritation and maintaining skin health.

Secure Coupling Mechanism

The mechanical coupling system includes a patented security ring that locks and unlocks with an audible 'click', providing assurance of attachment. It allows 360° rotation of the bag before locking, offering optimal positioning and flexibility, and enabling frequent bag changes without compromising skin adhesion.

Comfort and Discretion

With a soft front for discretion under clothing, the low-profile, flexible design enhances comfort during daily activities. An integrated filter helps prevent odour, adding to the discretion.

User-Friendly Application

The Alterna Base Plate is designed for easy application and removal. It is intended for single-use only and should not be reused, reprocessed, or sterilized.

Available Sizes and Variants

• Hole Sizes: Pre-cut options include 20mm, 21mm, 25mm, 28mm, 30mm, 31mm, 35mm, 40mm, and 45mm. Cut-to-fit options range from 10-45mm and 15-43mm.
• Coupling Diameters: Available in 40mm, 50mm, and 60mm.
• Packaging: Offered in boxes containing 4, 5, or 6 base plates, depending on the variant.

Usage Guidelines

For optimal adhesion, apply the base plate to clean, dry skin. Removal is best achieved by gently peeling downward while holding the skin taut. As a single-use product, it should be disposed of after use.

This thoughtfully designed base plate meets the needs of ostomy patients seeking a secure, comfortable, and discreet solution, tailored for sensitive skin and long-term wear.
